I generally don't trust career politicians. I'd much rather trust
people who had 'normal' jobs (what is "normal" anyways?) before
their life as a politician.....even if it is a football or baseball
player or actor (no, I'm not necessarily endorsing Arnold) and those
are not "normal" jobs by any stretch of the imagination.

Why not run the seats for political office like we jury duty?

Random selection, no elections, limited terms, etc.

I liked the Letterman joke about juries.

The punch line was "Please give me a California jury!".
